English Soccer Hooligans
Lucky Cologne. Of all the teams playing in the World Cup, we hosted all the England games-- the rumored loudest, rowdiest, most obnoxious fans of all. So we've had an onslaught of English tourists camping out in my neighborhood.
Thing is, nothing happened. They were reportedly well behaved, no incidents, and in fact some German fans were the only ones arrested after the England game for being obnoxious (and Germany wasn't even playing.)
But this meant I had to walk my dog through the English Fan squatter/camping base along the Rhine, and had my own little World Cup experience. It was about 11am on a Sunday morning, but the atmosphere was loud and carnivalesque, and a visibly drunk and playful fan shouted a german phrase to me I didn't understand. When I shouted back "I don't speak german!" of course where are you from etc. followed.
He was friendly enough to offer me a bottle of water for the dog, and as soon as I offered it to her, he said "OH, sorry, that's got vodka in it" and staggered off.
(That is not him pictured above, but this illustrates that fact that I am a moron and thought that was the Danish flag. The English fans would wave the Union Jack, right? Wrong. That's the flag of the U.K, silly. This is the flag of just England, which I'd never seen before.)
